So far, we had no covered any SMARC 2.0 compatible system-on-module based on the new NXP processor, but some companies had already launched such modules including Embedian and Avnet. Congatec has now joined them with the launch of conga-SMX8-Mini SMARC 2.0 system-on-module which builds on the company’s earlier conga-SMX8 i.MX 8 module.

The company provides support for U-Boot bootloader, Linux, the Yocto Project, and Android. Being a SMARC 2.0 compliant module, conga-SM8X-Mini is compatible with the company’s conga-SEVAL007010 evaluation carrier board for SMARC 2.0 modules.

Congatec now offers standard 8 different standard conga-SMX8-Mini modules with 1, 2 or 4GB RAM, 16GB storage, and one of the six i.MX 8M Mini processors listed in the specifications.

Most companies will not disclose their SoM price publicly. Compulab and TechNexion do, so that’s one way to get an idea about the price. All companies claim support for Yocto, but I don’t know about the level of support.
